Basic Apple Guy:

Don’t get me wrong, I am still very much on team AirPods, but I have increasingly found use cases and situations where having a pair of good olde wired EarPods has proven quite useful. They don’t need charging, they work with just about anything, and they’ve quietly aged into a little slice of tech nostalgia. They will still tangle and will snag a few door handles, but for the price of a couple of coffees, they’ve earned a permanent spot in my bag. Sometimes, the simplest tech still has a place in our very wireless world.

I always keep a pair of wired EarPods in my bag. Just in case my AirPods battery dies, they’re lost, or something else that’s unplanned occurs. They work with everything in my kit and are significantly more reliable than wireless options.
